title: 'vayuayan: Air Quality Data from CPCB, OAQ, and WUSTL Satellite PM2.5'
version: 0.2.0.9001
abstract: Download and analyze air pollution data from three sources. CPCB (Central
  Pollution Control Board) CAAQMS stations provide historical and real-time PM2.5,
  PM10, and AQI readings across 400+ sites in India. OAQ (Open Air Quality) aggregates
  low-cost sensor networks such as Airnet, also in India. WUSTL ACAG V5GL04 provides
  satellite-derived PM2.5 at 1 km resolution globally (1998-2022). Includes geospatial
  station matching, AQI categorization, and NetCDF raster extraction for arbitrary
  regions.
